pauline trigère

Founded in New York in 1942 by French-born designer Pauline Trigère, the eponymous house became a cornerstone of American couture. Trigère, the daughter of a Russian-Jewish tailor and dressmaker, brought a rigorous Parisian approach to Seventh Avenue, famously cutting and draping directly on the fabric rather than sketching. The brand quickly established itself as a master of structured tailoring and sophisticated outerwear, catering to an elite clientele that included Grace Kelly and Bette Davis. Trigère’s signature style was defined by its deceptively simple, architectural silhouettes, fluid jerseys, and innovative use of wool and cotton for eveningwear.
